1 Professor Simon Hornblower FBA Senior Research Fellow, All Souls College, and Professor of Classics and Ancient History, University of Oxford My chief areas of research are: classical Greek historiography (esp. Herodotus and Thucydides); and historical texts considered as literature, and literary (esp. poetic) texts considered as history. Recent books I published a large-scale historical and literary commentary on Thucydides in three volumes (OUP 1991, 1996, 2008; boxed set 2010). My most recent monograph is Thucydides and Pindar; Historical Narrative and the World of Epinikian Poetry (2004), but in 2010 I published, again with OUP, a collection of (mostly reprinted) book- chapters and articles, Thucydidean Themes. A fourth edition of my Routledge textbook Greek World 479-323 BC was published at the beginning of 2011. In 2007 I co-edited, with Prof. Cathy Morgan of KCL (now Director of the British School at Athens, and soon to join my college as a Senior Research Fellow), Pindar's Poetry, Patrons, and Festivals: From Archaic Greece to the Roman Empire (OUP). This was a collection of papers by experts on historical, literary, archaeological and anthropological aspects of Pindar and his world. Since 1979 I have been involved with the on-going Lexicon of Greek Personal Names, and in 2000 I co-edited with the late Elaine Matthews a book called Greek Personal Names: their Value as Evidence (OUP for the British Academy). Finally, I co-edited with Tony Spawforth the 3rd ed. (1996) of the Oxford Classical Dictionary, and a 4th edition, co-edited with Tony Spawforth and Esther Eidinow, was published in 2012. In December 2013 I published an edition of and commentary on Herodotus book 5 in the ‘green-and-yellow’ series (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics), and I am now working on Herodotus book 6 in the same series, to be co- authored with Christopher Pelling. My Lykophron’s Alexandra: Greek text, Translation and Commentary (pp. xxxii+ 618) was published by OUP in July 2015. I am now writing a follow-up monograph, to be called Lykophron’s Alexandra and the Hellenistic World, also for OUP. Finally, I am editing the metrical texts (mostly funerary epigrams) for the AHRC- funded Corpus of Ptolemaic Inscriptions project.
